Articles about Ivo Bligh
Profile:
Best remembered for his part in the origin of the Ashes, being
the recipient of the original urn from a group of Melbourne
ladies (one of whom later became his wife) in 1883, after
captaining England to victory and retrieving the trophy lost in
1882. His career was short, ended by ill-health after only 6
years. He was part of the Cambridge University side that
defeated the Australians in 1878, and went on to play for Kent
until 1883. Bligh was tall, and used his height to effect as a
forceful right hand bat with a strong drive, and was a good
field at point or in the outfield. After his playing career
ended, as Lord Darnley he was much involved in the game as
President of Kent and the MCC (Dave Liverman, 1998).
